>> well, the obamas have not been snubbed. prince william is only second in line to the throne which means that this is not an official state occasion. so therefore, foreign heads of state not required to be invited. yet, in the past the first lady has represented the country. nancy reagan went to diana's wedding. hillary clinton went to diana's funeral. so perhaps a little surprising that michelle wasn't included. but the obamas do have something wonderful to look forward to. the queen has personally invited them to buckingham palace for the very first european state visit in may. so that will be really great quality time with the royal family. >> that will be nice. now will are some country leaders that have been invited. what is the criteria for who does get invited and who doesn't? >> well, of the 1900 invitations that you mentioned, 1,000 of those have gone to family and friends of william and kate. we've got 50 members of the british royal family. 40 members of foreign royal families. and that includes representatives fr

question for you what do barack and mychal obama and brad pitt and angelina jolie have in common? they're both believed to be compatible matches based on their birth order. psychologist and "early" show contributor dr. jennifer hartstein is here to explain. seems there's always something that can give us a clue into a relationship. what is it about the order in which you're born that gives us some sort of an inkling as to who you might fit well with? >> well, it's one these of this larger puzzle of all the things that make us who we are. gender, birth order, temperament, environmental factors, all of that give us indications of who we are, what our personality traits are, who we might want to be with when we're dating. >> is there any scientific aspect of this? >> there is. it's been researched since the 1920s and they really have found that over time the things that they have found stay the same, and are proven to be honest and true representations of people. >> okay. so as we're telling people about this later in the day, we can say there's research. >> exactly. >> let's take a

is obama backing off? >> it is difficult to get this right. it is a new situation to have a close ally like egypt, like mubarak go through this democratic revolution in the middle east. i think what secretary clinton is referring to is under their constitutional system if he were to step down really the wrong person would end up as president, the speaker of the parliament, a henchman of mubarak's, not the kind of figure you want in charge. various egyptians have their own ideas on how to proceed. i think the key thing is that the process that has begun of meetings, of reforms, of change, has to get concrete as soon as possible. without concrete steps, the lifting of emergency rule and martial law, the suspension perhaps of a constitution so that they can have real politics in egypt, concrete steps have to be taken or those protesters are going to come back en masse. >> there are still people there today and after the meetings which happened over the weekend with the opposition parties with suleiman. some concessions were made including allowin

those cuts could include some proposed by president obama for next year's budget. and also 8.5 billion dollars in previously approved earmarks. the second negotiation is about keeping the government functioning beyond friday, march 4th, when the current funding runs out. that bill would also make some cuts, but would likely provide only two weeks of extra funding. giving republicans and democrats a little more time to work on the long-term deal. last week, the president painted a grim picture if the government would shut down, what might happen. >> people don't get their social security checks and don't get their veterans payments. basic functions shut down. and that also would have a adverse effect it our economic recovery. >> reporter: that is actually not true. social security checks and veterans payments would still go out as they did when the government shut down 15 years ago. but it now seems that both sides want to avoid a shutdown or, at the very least, to avoid the blame if it one happens. jeff? >> all right, bill. thank you. >>> also some magic at the whi

president obama revealed a lot in his memoirs. i guess two of them actually before he ran for president. so certainly that could lay the groundwork. i think what he said is that this is something that happened in his life and that is why he included it in this book, and that he was just being forthcoming about it and like you said it's part of his life. i'm told by people who have seen the book that the first few chapters his early life, the physical abuse and sexual abuse are hard to emotionally read through but once you get past that, it's a very inspiring tale. >> jonathan allen, appreciate your time this morning. thanks. >> take care. >> now for more headlines, jeff glor is at the news desk. let's check in with him now. >>> in wisconsin a dramatic showdown between state workers and the governor as nearly two dozen school districts are closed down. workers held a sleep-in at the statehouse overnight over a cost cutting bill. >> this is wrong! this is wrong! >> thousands of teachers and other state workers are calling in sick an
